charges, but they will not nuw be pros
ecuted. The prisoner made a strong plea
fora light sentence, acknowledging his
guift and asking the mercy of the court.
Ihe sentence is regarded as light, at) the
total amount of bis peculations, which
extended over several yearn, was about

On his return a tew minutes later tbe
entire kiln was aflame. Hid loss is prob*

A receiver has been appointed to take
charge of the affairs of the Washington
Farmers' Insurance company. Ex-Aud
itor M. I). Smith was named as receiver.
This company, which has been in travail
for a long time, is well known among the
farmers whose patronage was specially
solicited. Its management has been the
nucleus around which several utilisations

is thai inn, lll" will occur over revelations

Col. I'at IVman, the noted newspaper
man, lecturer and all-round bustler, ea«(
mid went, bad a talk with a party ol
friends at the national capital the other
day on the conditions that have recently
l>een agitating the country, and the man
ner in which he ex prosed his opinion of
the situation is both dramatic and inter
esting. Those who know anything al«u
CM. IJonan's pictnrei'qne style of expres
sion will not forego the pleasure of a pe
rusal of this last hit of extravagant elo
quence. "I expect no good from this ex
tra session of congress," said the colonel,
with a very positive emphasis. "The
man who does is an ass, whose ears
would make umbrella covers for cathe
dral spires. It would be looking for Tigs
from jimson weeds and brandy peaches
fror> dngfennel bushes. This congress is
just like tho«e whose ignoramus and lu
natic legislation, for thirty years pint, 7i as
caused all our national woes. To hope
for it would lie to proclaim a marvel a >
faith in the principle that 'the bite of the
dog is good for the hair.'
"There is scarcely a man in either
house who ever originated a Rtatcpmnn
like measure, uttered a stHtesman-like
sentiment, or conceived a statcpman-like
thought. There is hardly one whom an
original idea would not split wide O|>en
from collar button to hip pocket. Their
intellectual and political horizon in
tmunded by the puny lines of their state
or section, their party or their pursi-H.
Most of then never saw a fifty-dollar hill
until they crawled out of their native
brunh piles to come her** and set up as
caricatures on statesmanship. They are
generally cheap office hucksters and self
pushers; and some of them, if justice
were not cqiiint-eyed, would be serving
terms in states' pnsonn instead of the
United States senate and house of repro
■entativis. Our American congress is a
body most honored by those who know
least about it.
"All of the talk about silver and the
silver question, in connection with our
gigantic financial ills', seems to me the
babble of ignorance nnd folly ulinost lie
yond the power of the Almiuhty himself
to ulloviato or enlighten. Silver has lit
tle, if any, more to do with the present
mi ifh-up than paving-gtones or pi'_*s'
feet. Silver ia but an atom in the vast
aggregate of our continental buetednesx,
a mere fly-speck on the mighty chart of
impending; disaster.
"The whole population ol the silver
states —Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Mon
tana, Nevada, New Mexico and I'tah, all
combined —is only 1,095,021, or scarcely
onesixtv-fifth of our grand muster roll.
We could exterminate them—wipe the
last man, woman and child of them from
the fuce of the earth—and not know it
throe weeks afterward. We import nearly
as many new inhabitants every year.
"Our total silver product last year was
but fiß,OiH),ooo ounces, worth to-day about
»3*,oiH),Oot>. We could dump it all in
some Yellowstone geyser, (tension swin
dle or other governmental hell-hole, and
never miss it. The hens' egg* of the old
women of the country are of more value
and importance. Compared with our
$25ii,000,000 cotton crop, our $150,000,000
wheat yield, our corn, hay, coal, iron,
timber or ochre-yellowed oleomargerine
butter, silver is absolutely insignificant
and contemptible. Attempting to make
it tbe scapegoat for our financial sins,
follies and miseries, is trying to pile all
hades and the Rocky mountains on an
infinitesimal mining camp jackass. The
packsnddle is not big enough by a million
moral—or immoral—leagues. Cleveland's
message and all the flapdoodle of our
sham statesmen to the contrary not
withstanding, silver is a puny incident,
and not a potential factor in our deep
damnation.
"What, then, ih the cause of our
trouble? That is easy to answer. Fora
full generation past we have been living
at the'pace that killt).' Everything haa
been run on the high-pressure plan, with
steam up to the bursting poiut, and a
darky silting on the safety- alve. As a
government, as a people, and as individ
ual*, we have splurged and plunged in
world-amazing fashion, and all on credit.
Uur whole history, public and private,
haH been a mad-cup story of rant, riot and
revel. We have squandered thousands
of millions of dollars—all borrowed—on
anything, everything and nothing, that
tended to tickle our vanity or increase
our braggadocious possibilities. No swin
dle has been too gigantic, no humbug too
transparent for our icreedand folly. With
our war tariff in time of |K»ace we have
filched untold millions on milliona from
our own pockets to be waste<l in the
wildest business atitl political orgien. We
have Kiveo hundrexlsof millions of arrea
of our public lands to thiovinb railroad
corporations. Wo have lavished hun
dreds of millions of dollars on a fraudu
lent pensions list—f I&J.OW.OOJ > year
much of it to horiiis heroes an>4 national
grass widows; enough to our alleged crip
ples of a lifetime bi?d to maintain all of
theßtanding armies of the old world;
enough to pay all the expense of our gov
ernment, honestly and economically ad
ministered.
"We have made the eyes of all God's
creation bulge ont past its hat rim by
our extravagancies and p'oSi^acies—and
all on credit. We have iuasd thousands
iof mi!Ut>a» ol tends, stats bonds, city
I bond* arid private corporation*! bonds—
at extoftieaaU rates ol interest, on
1 twntr,i%Mr«rfcrty ntt' liras. tad
them 1 bond* are coming dor. We have
Huil: thousands of miles of railroad* at
♦ ln.iXHa mil* and bonded them at at |
(Mi.wi h nilr, nnd the managers have
hecome multi-millionaires by pocketing
the trivial discrepancy of |!X),iiOO a mile.
Our printing premies hare hummel day
and night, grinding out bonda to build
our court house*, our school houses, to
rear our sixteen-story architectural limn
stroaihes of bluster and buncombe, to
open our great mines, and to develop?
our big f«run an I ranches. We have
dialed Immla to pen our pigs, to milk oar
TexnM stcfM and to amuoe our sportive
bulls and hears. All 'liii fun-on-time
must lie paid for. W« have madly dis
counted the future, and the future i«
here. We have sown the whirlwind nnd
our cyclone harvest is ripe. We have
scattered and squandered ami caroused,

credit—and pay day .■ at hand. That is
what »il* us.
"All the silver we could product in the
next quarter of a rentury would be pit
iful beggars' pennies and pewter nickels
liesiile our appalling needs. We have
at least «M." hum i '»> >of national. State,
county, munincipal, corporations! nnd
individual bonds. Think of it! Ten
thousand million dollara of bonded debt!
All nations are our creditors. They want
money tipsy them.
"Mean thiie our reckless home expen
ditures go on, as in the maddest, merriest
iiiMiitiuii days. We are upending a bill
ion a year for government, such as it is.
Hear th<>ae rigrues again: f.1,010,000,-
UOO a year for national misrule alone. A
ihotiNand millions of dollars a year! It
is more than any government, more than
all governments arc worth. It would
bankrupt all Europe to pay it. The Czar
of all tho Russians would lose his crow n
and his head if he should try lo grind out

"Wo have done all business for thirty

"I«t Cleveland and his Capitol Hill
menagerie of alleged statesmen prate as

The last number of thu Irrigation Age
contained the following editorial inspired
by the Washington World's Kair ex
hibit:
Nothing at the World's Kair has sur
prised Eastern visitors more than the ex
hibit of tho state of Washington. This
is true id all departments, for the resources
of Washington are as varied wi they
aro extensive, and there is scarcely a
dep rlnicnt Id which it cannot compete
with hope of pro eminence.
The readers of the Age are especially
interested in the exhibit of irrigated pro
ducts. Washington has not yet reached
that degree of progress where it can show
Hi" products of its irrigated lands to ad
vantage in competition with several of the
states where the art is older. Neither has
its irrigation industry yet attained suffi
cient prominence to lead ila citizens to
put it to the front on such mi. occasion as
one'of its distinct and peculiar industrial
interests. In spite of this fact, however,
the most creditable display in its fruit
exhibit were the prunes and peaches
raised by irrigation in Walla Walla
county. Thu average visitor did not know
that these were raised on lands reclaimed
from the desert by the ditch, f-uch is the
fact, however.
Washington is, indeed, a fertile state.
No mind cm nee, nor pen foretell, what
triumphs for civilization wili bo won on
that soil before the twentieth century has
expired. It can be said, though, with
lierfect confidence that irrigation will lie
among the factors contributing to the
great result. The Cascade, mountain*
divide the state between the arid and the
humid regions. East of tfctt range,
thero can be no worthy development ex
cept by means of irrigation. When the
magnificent streams ha -c buen diverted, i
there will be opened up a field \m indiia
iry bh ticli as any that lies open to the i
hand of man under the sun. Tl." possi- |
bilities of the small farm iind intensive
cultivation will be here Utattnttd in their
highest form.
We congratulate Washington upon bat
triumphant exhibit at Chica/o. Ami «c
congratulate her also upon the propped
of obtaining a very generuin share of the
prosperity that irrigation is sine to confer
upon the western half of Irrll ruilltlllWll

Mh. Kditoh: If any of your reader*
think that viewing the niirhtn of itte
World's fair is an uninteresting occupa
tion we would recommend a trial. We
mean by thin that ihey should not only
ace wlni in on rxhihitlon, hut what has
bei>n i>ut there as a source of revenue for
private individuals. 1 •»« f-.r- bnvingthe
White City we took a ride upon the
(nnio'.'B Ferris' wheel, which carries yoo
on its circumference ai4 fi>et in nlr. The
senoHtinn rauFed hy rcHching this high
altit'ldo la something like a trip to the
twenty-third story of the Masonic build
ing of Chicago. The wheel cost »-M,(kH>,
and has a carrying capacity of 3JOO
people.
Not quito •> wild, but intensely more
interesting, especially to almut 61K) by-
Mi:iric|cr», in :i ride upon the hump of a
■ huh lin ihe Htrvcunf Cairo. History
teaches us that they lie clown to receive
the burden which they are to carry, but
it (ails to record the manner In which
they get up.
Thinking that a ride on a ramel would
be a (pat o( which not every one could
Ixiast, we conelubl one day to try it.
The noble animal wan anaitirjg ur in
front o( the fmplei.f the Egyptian for
tuneteller in one of the? lower and densely
crowded «tre«?Uo( Cairo and, without fur
ther ceremony than paying the driver 30
cents for the ride, we mounted its back,
ready for a trip down the streets to the
market place. As soon ax the fnrti was
paid and we had caught hold ol numer
ous ropea and handles to hold on, the
driver gave it a kick and up went the
liui.l wheels first until it stood at an
angle of about forty degrees and nn im
mediate journey clr-wu the hump on to
the brick pAvpmeiit seemed inevitable;
but, before we could start, it straightened
another joint and left uh in as umch clan
ger of going backwards. This VM avoided,
however, and after about fuur c>( these
attempts to arise we proceeded on our
journey which covered about <KH) feet;
but to avoid a repetition o( Iho perils en
countered in its getting up no threw our
selves over its side anH tell to the
ground.
A ride on h camel is loss dangerous,
though, than on the r*ilroa<la in these
days of qwfcmatta train rolibpries. We
manaci'il to reach the capital cily, how
over, without a "hold up," and have since
been trying to determine where congress
"is at" on the silver question. The lower
house, always more mindful of the coun
try's interests than the cowing house of
lords, promptly offered the relief which
depressed capital and latxir wanted, but
the senate is still engaged in making six
hour speeches on the Wilson repeal bill.
Just when r vote will l>s reached is im
possible to determine at this time. The
repealers, however, claim 40 votes for re
peal, which will give them n good major
ity. It It very interesting to hear the
repeal senators explaining their former
vole for the Sherman bill. On yesterday
the senate held a one liourand-liftymiu
ute session and, there in in;; no senator
who cared to tackle the silver (jucstion
during »o short a ee««ion, took up the
resolution offered by Peffer for tne investi
gation of the recent train robberies. It is
meeting with vinlont opposition, and will
hardly pass.
Our John L. Wilson lias imparted the
information to some of his confidential
friends here that Governor McUraw is to
call an extra session of the legislature;
that Allen will refuse to be a candidate
and that he (Wilson) will be unanimous
ly elected Inn successor in the United
Hlates senate.
On the 18th inst. the centennial of the
laying of the corner stone of the capitol
was celebrated «itli uppropriat* cere
monies. After n magnificent parade,,
about onu hundred thousand people
listened to addresses by the president and
Mr. Henry, of Virginia. After seeing the
president re are inclined to discredit the
stories regarding his ill health, l'robably
the timely arrival of little Esther, who id
proving a worthy rival for baby Ruih in
